Books on the rack

At one point in the movie, when Hud and Lon are in town, Lon enters a store and goes to check some books at a revolving book rack. Well, curiosity got the better of me and I tried to spot every title I could see (mostly those on the two top rows). I thought it would be a fun way to see what people read in the 60's. And knowing film directors, maybe Martin Ritt hand picked the books personally.

So here goes:
